How to Validate your Game Files using Steam

If you experience issues with your Steam game like stuttering, glitches, or missing/corrupted files, you may need to validate your game files. Validating your game through Steam will ensure that you have the original game files and that any missing files from your installation are restored to their original form.

Validating Your Game Files

You can validate your game files through the Local Files tab located under your desired game's properties.

  1. Open Steam and Click Library.
  2. Locate and right-click your desired game, then select Properties.
  3. Go to the Installed Files tab, and click Verify Integrity of Game Files.

  4. Wait for your game to finish validating and Start your game.
